Yoga for Young Adults Affected by Cancer
Sponsor: University of Calgary
Summary
Yoga may enhance physical and psychological outcomes among young adults affected by cancer. Yet, yoga has rarely been studied in this population. We developed and piloted a yoga program, which is now ready for implementation and evaluation. This single-group, mixed-methods project will explore effectiveness and implementation of the yoga program.

Participants receive the yoga program, which is delivered by a trained yoga instructor (completed at least a 200-hour yoga teacher training, Yoga Thrive Teacher Training Certification (or similar), and/or practical experience working with individuals affected by cancer). The first class of the week is comprised of 45 minutes of gentle, progressive, hatha-based yoga sequencing and postures with the last 15 minutes focused on guided behaviour change and mindfulness techniques that varies week-to-week, based on the participants in the class. The second class of the week is 60 minutes of gentle, yin-based yoga sequencing and postures with an element of opening and relaxing.
